Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

With a pending ratio of 0.32, the current market dynamics indicate a reduced pace of demand absorption relative to available inventory. This scenario places pressure on pricing, requiring greater price discipline from sellers. Negotiating leverage is likely to favor transactions where inventory levels are higher and the pace of absorption is slower, leading to extended marketing periods for properties not competitively priced.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price decreased by 5.7% year-over-year, while the median listing price declined by 3.2% over the same period. This wider contraction in average pricing compared to median pricing, alongside a 2.1% year-over-year increase in median $/sqft, suggests some softening at the higher price tiers, potentially impacting overall market averages.

Supply Dynamics

682 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 256 per month.
